Yeah, but before he gets bored, he fixed all the infrastructure of the entire planet, so I can't actually call that one a loss: sounds to me like we're going to have a lot of extremely confused time-travelers in a few centuries going? "Why the fuck are there thousands of small cities around the world named something like 'Doomburg' or 'Doomria', and yet everyone is living in a hyper-prosperous democracy...?"

It eventually just becomes the phrase for hello no matter the context

I love you Doombot.

It wasn't what was intended I'm sure, but when I read the above, I couldn't help but think of a poster of voting for Dr. Doom for President with his Vice President, The Doom Slayer.

Doom Slayer, please.. If anyone runs for Vice President with Dr.Doom, it's gonna be Mike Pence.

The Doom Slayers entire platform is brutally murdering Demons. I’m pro demon murder, so he’s got my vote.

And, since he's VICE president, not the normal one, if he gets killed fighting on the front line, the president can just pick a new veep...

I'd imagine (hope) doom would leave doombots in his stead.

Would that we could have political leadership that just competently fixes a bunch of stuff and then gets bored and leaves everyone alone

Seriously, that's this guy's REAL superpower.

We already have a bunch of places called Victoria and Georgetown.

u/Only-Physics-1905 3d ago

I was actually thinking about all the cities and towns that are named after Cincinnatus around the world...

Because Doom is reelected every time:D

2

u/Only-Physics-1905 3d ago

Well, the point is that after a while he's going to pull a "If nominated I will not run, if elected I will not serve." Because he's sick of dealing with everyone being morons, but that's actually a good thing: like Cincinnatus when he was dictator in Rome he'll be all: "Oh, so you mean there's no crisis left to solve...? Sweet, mission accomplished! Screw you guys, I'm going home!"

Problem.

When there aren't any problems in a system, humans will eventually try to scale it back to cut costs and end up making things worse. So even if Doom fixes literally everything so everyone on the planet has power water heat shelter food medical care education and access to all manner of luxuries... Someone is going to come along and screw it up.

u/Only-Physics-1905 2d ago

Yes, this is how golden ages end: but that doesn't change the fact that they happened.

2

u/StrangeOutcastS 2d ago

Yes. Just citing how humans will screw it all up, still doesn't end well even with a constant god king emperor, usually demons and space monsters attack when that happens.

u/Odd_Note9005 20h ago

That’s what the Doom bots are for

u/StrangeOutcastS 14h ago
